Music of the Moment - August 23, 2008 [Part Two]

OK. So it was definitely worth having two Music of the Moment posts today. When I started looking for the Tracklist for T.I.'s Paper Trail, the joint "Swagger Like Us" immediately caught my eye. My candidate for Song of the Summer. It's Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil Wanye and T.I. on the same joint.

Epic to say the least.

[Note: Great use of the M.I.A. sample too. Paper Trail is gonna be tough.]

Lookin' at my Rolley, it's about that time...

So yup. It's about that time.

Every summer for the third week in July, I volunteer for Louisiana Youth Seminar in Baton Rouge. It's a leadership seminar at LSU that we put on for high school kids. And even though I'm not from Louisiana, it helps me to appreciate the state for what it is. It's open to kids from around the country and the counselors and directors are from Colleges and Universities around the United States. It is truly one of the most rewarding, yet tiring, weeks of my life, but I wouldn't trade it for a night with Halle Berry anything.

If you know anyone that's still in high school and think would be interested, you should definitely hit me up. The seminar is beneficial to everyone that comes in contact with it and can be one of the best weeks of your life.

With all the sentimental stuff said, I'll be taking another short break until LYS is over. I'll holla at you on the 18th. Yurp.

Good to be Home.

So last night I finally got some of my oldest friends all together in the same room for the first time in about 6 years.

But I almost didn't even make it to Chicago.

Of course July 2 was the busiest I've ever seen the airport. All of the flights from Atlanta to Chicago were overbooked as hell so my flight went from being the 3:14 flight, to the 4:18 flight, to the 5:57 flight, to the 8:25 flight, to the 9:45 flight and ended up being the 11:10 flight. Right, that's six flights. Yes, it was a long day at Hartsfield-Jackson. The only way I was able to save face from the 10 hours I spent at the airport was that once I finally got on the plane I was in first class. And since I had been traveling with the same 5 passengers ALL DAY, we all were just relieved to make the last flight of the night.

And first class meant free drinks...so the mini-Jack and Cokes were on smash.
It's good to be home.

So yeah, it's about that time...

The July 4th weekend is almost here and I'm finally headed back home to Chicago. Me and Mook have been planing this trip forever and It seems like everybody is about to be there this weekend. I'll be back Tuesday with a lot of pictures and a bunch of stories. If you don't have plans, come to the Chi!!

[Note: Hit me up if you're gonna be in town sonnnnn.]

Where Were We??

A lot has happened in this last month so let's recap:

-Barack Obama was able to slide past Hillary and recieve the Democratic nomination. Yab.
-The Lakers Kobe ended up losing to the Celtics...and Shaq tried to rap rapped about it.

-R.Kelly got off free as shit. Wtf?? I think my man Human Resource at Start Snitching put it the funniest when he said, "I wonder what would have happened if [Michael] Vick had an underage female Fight Club and R. Kelly was raping dogs?" Classic.

-We snatched up Derrick Rose with the first pick in the draft. I was leaning towards Beasley since we have so many guards but we couldn't really lose with either. Check out this play from his high school days at Simeon. I can't f'ing wait for NBA 2K9.
This is high school, mind you.

-Wayne sold a million+ in the first week. Hot damn. I guess I need to stop hating.
[Note: That's not gonna happen.]

That pretty much brings us up to speed. That wasn't too hard.


...that's what she said.

Lo siento mis amigos...

El mes pasado yo comencé una programa de Español. La programa fue muy divertida y yo conozcé muchos personas buenas. Ahora que la programa es terminada, yo planeo comenzar escritura todos los dias otra vez. Esta que ella dice.

Palabra, hijo.
